Indeed they are not but Robot Wars is just saying that it is commonly a weapon on their robots. But the concepts shown do not have to be weaponry

Aye, but the best self-righers used a high powered flipping weapon to self right, something that really can't be duplicated in FIRST.

Off the top of my head, the best way to untip is to build a climbing arm that unfolds from the top of your bot. Kills two birds with one stone.

<G30-B> has the rule on extension when untipping yourself or your partner. You also get 10 seconds without opponents contacting you under <G32>.
